2019 Trauma and Birth Conference

The 2019 Trauma and Birth Conference, Hosted by Perinatal Support Washington and PATTCh, will take place on 28 – 30 March 2019 at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront in Seattle, WA, USA.

This professional event will bring together over 300 providers from diverse disciplines in the field of perinatal health. The focus of this event is to examine the implications of trauma prior to childbirth, during childbirth, and the subsequent postpartum mental health of new parents including postpartum depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

The conference will focus on systems of care and personal risk factors that increase traumatic birth outcomes, as well as on prevention and treatment approaches to mitigate the impact of trauma for parents and prevent transmission of trauma to infants and young children.
